Since she was born Caroline has stayed at home with either her Mommy or her Granny. Today she will start daycare. She is in for a surprise. Hopefully, she will do well. I'm not too sure about her Granny.
Today went to church and Caroline sat through the whole service as if she was taking in everything Warren was saying. Later that day her main man came by for a pre-Christmas visit.
Each year I try and go to Leslie's class and read to them at least once. One of my favorites to read is the Polar Express during Christmas. Leslie makes apple cider and the mothers bring cookies. The kids all wear their p.j.s and I make bell necklaces for them to wear so they can ring their bells too.
This year Mama and Caroline went with me so it was very special.
We're in full swing around our house getting ready for Christmas. It will be much more fun this year trying to see everything through Caroline's eyes. She won't care as much about getting presents as we will about giving them. If we can keep that in mind we'll be much better off. We are enjoying the decorating though and so is she.
Caroline has already had more than her share of pictures made in her Christmas attire.
Today was a day of much celebration and was an absolutely beautiful fall day. At 8:45 a.m. both Caroline and her Daddy were Baptized. There were many friends and family members present and five generations represented on my side of the family. As Warren pointed out, Caroline had 5 Grandparents, 6 Great Grandparents, one Great Great Grandmother and numerous Aunts, Uncles and Cousins on hand for this very special day. Caroline was her usual sunny self and seemed to bask in the glow of adoration.
We celebrated too Grandma's 90th birthday, which is impossible to believe. She still carries herself and behaves like a much younger woman.
Granny, Caroline and I went to visit Leslie's classroom. We took the kids a Halloween Cookie and read them the story, The Halloweener, about a Dachsund whose mother dressed him up as a big hot dog for Halloween and how the other dogs made fun of him, but in the end he saved the day.

They seemed to enjoy it, but the main attraction was of course, Divine Miss Caroline Sunshine.
After we finished at the school we took Caroline to visit her BFF, Charlie. She couldn't wait to see him and had to hold him since he's the only person she knows that is littler than her.
Caroline had her first tiny bites of cereal this morning. She did really well to be 3 months old and for her first time. She seemed to liked it. Of course, she likes everything.
On Sunday we had Caroline's Sip and See at Judy's home in Tupelo. As we knew it would, the house looked like it came right out of Southern Living. Everything was just perfect and Judy (a/k/a Aunt Goddess) made it look effortless. About 50 ladies stopped by to meet Caroline and she loved every minute of it (except for the big flower).
Caroline was three months old Saturday and Abby and I took her on her first Game Day trip to the Grove. It was very breezy and quite cool, but she had a ball and stayed toasty warm. She and Miss Betsy hit it off instantly.
